After seven seasons of non-stop lies and murders, Pretty Little Liars has 10 episodes left to wrap everything up. Here are the eight questions we need answered the most.
If we wanted to assemble every question we’ve ever had about Pretty Little Liars that we’d like the final season to touch on, we’d be here long past the season premiere on Tuesday, April 18.

Of course we need to know who, out of the Spoby love triangle, will survive, but that should be answered within the first episode…or else. Obviously we’re dying to know which couples are endgame, but let’s be honest, even after the show ends we’ll still be wondering how our favorite ships are making out.
For your easy consumption, we’ve meticulously whittled the insanely long list of Pretty Little Liars questions down to these 8. In our minds, these are the mysteries that we just can’t leave this series behind without solving. Take a look at the questions and let us know if you agree!
Who is A.D./Uber A?
Because obviously. Some form of the “who is A?” question has been plaguing us for the entirety of Pretty Little Liars, so this really isn’t one that they can leave as a cliffhanger. We need answers! As many as we can possibly get. Tell us the who, the what, the where, the when, the how, and most importantly, the why. Honestly, at this point, is there any reasoning that could justify what A’s done? If so, we need to hear it.

The interesting thing about this new wave of A harassment is that it all centers around one thing: finding out who killed Charlotte DiLaurentis. This at least gives us something to go on when speculating who the culprit could be. However, we still don’t know if this person was involved since the beginning of Charlotte’s reign (we really hope this is the case) or if they’ve just popped in to avenge her death.
There are convincing fan theories to implicate almost every character in the Pretty Little Liars universe, but some of the more popular ones involve Wren Kingston, Aria Montgomery, Lucas Gottesman, and Spencer Hastings. No matter who it is, we just hope the explanation is worthy of seven years of mystery.
Who killed Jessica DiLaurentis?
This is one of the longest running big mysteries in Pretty Little Liars history. We witnessed Jessica DiLaurentis being hauled into her grave in season 4, and are still none the wiser as to her assailant.
We know Charlotte buried her mother, but if she’s to be believed, she had nothing to do with killing her. Since Jessica was so involved the night that Alison disappeared, it’s possible that somebody killed her to shut her up. Peter Hastings comes to mind in that category, but as for other suspects, everyone’s up for grabs!
Who killed Sara Harvey?
Not that anybody’s really complaining about the death, but it would still be nice to know who was responsible, and why she met such a cruel, untimely demise. We don’t even know much about Sara, other than that she acted as Charlotte’s helper for years.
Before her death, when she was teamed up with Noel Kahn and Jenna Marshall, it seemed like she was trying to tell Emily something about her involvement, as she kept saying that she was trying to protect her. Maybe Uber A killed her to stop her from revealing anything about Charlotte. Or maybe, you know, anybody else could have done it.
Why was Sara Harvey helping Charlotte?
This one kind of ties into the previous question, but since they basically explained away everything from Charlotte’s reign with a sweeping, “Sara Harvey did that,” we’ll need to know what that girl was in it for.
What’s the deal with that Mrs. Rollins flash forward?
We’re confident that we will return to the flash forward scene that closed Pretty Little Liars season 6A, we’re just not quite sure how. In the scene, the Liars race into Alison’s classroom (where Mrs. Rollins is scrolled on the board) and inform her that a mysterious male has come for her, and that they came back to help her.
After it was revealed that Alison’s husband, Elliot Rollins, was not only using her, but that he was actually someone named Archer Dunhill in disguise, she’s decidedly no longer a Rollins. To add to that, Alison actually already returned to her teaching position, and resumed her title as Ms. DiLaurentis.
One theory for this one is that Alison is going by Mrs. Rollins in some sort of witness protection program type thing, to protect herself from A. Either that, or Archer Dunhill is still alive, and is forcing her to keep his name. Or, again, literally anything else. You tell us, Pretty Little Liars!
Who’s Spencer’s father?
One huge reveal (even though most fans saw it coming) from the Pretty Little Liars season 7A finale was that Spencer is actually Mary Drake’s daughter! If that’s the case, how did she come to live with the Hastings family, rather than the DiLaurentises?
Well, it’s been mentioned multiple times that Spencer and Melissa look “like twins,” so it’s likely they still share a parent, be that Peter Hastings, Mary Drake (probably not), or some mystery man.
We know that Peter had an affair with Jessica DiLaurentis, so it makes some sense that he would’ve done the same with Mary, even if she just tricked him into it. What doesn’t make sense, is why Veronica and Peter would’ve taken the baby. They were both so against Jason when that whole secret came out, so why would Spencer be different?
If Peter isn’t Spencer’s father, some other fan theories involve Aria’s uncle, Scott Montgomery, and Noel’s father, Steven Kahn, who was the judge in the adoption. Poor Spence will have a lot on her plate when Pretty Little Liars season 7B begins!
Who’s Charlotte’s father?
Until Mary Drake came along, we had assumed that Charlotte and Alison shared the same parents. Now that we know her biological mother is actually Jessica’s sister, Mary Drake, her father could really be anyone.
From the insight provided by Jenna, we know that Charlotte was only interested in finding her birth mother. Is that because she already knows Kenneth DiLaurentis is her biological father? Did Mary Drake trick him into sleeping with her by pretending to be Jessica? Did she even have to?
It’s also possible that Charlotte already knows her father to be someone else, knows her father to be dead, or maybe she’s just a mama’s girl at heart!
Who killed Charlotte DiLaurentis?
And, the always important followup question, is she really dead? On Pretty Little Liars even a body doesn’t mean much.
This is the only thing that A.D./Uber A wants to know, so naturally, it’s also one of the biggest questions that we have. We know that Alison saw Charlotte the night she died, but she swears she’s innocent. We also know that the killer followed an essay that Spencer wrote about the perfect murder. Other than that, we’re pretty much in the dark. Help us, Pretty Little Liars season 7B!
